The Human Mind

To portray even one aspect of the human mind via a motion picture can be very subjective. While I am familiar with movies portraying different psychological phenomenon , seldom do I take the time to analyze what message the producers are trying to convey amongst the theatrical effervescence. I find that I will often poke at the parts of the film that I consider "wrong" because I only consider my personal interests and experiences. As sane as one might consider themselves to be, there can be instances where a second opinion grants otherwise. What is normal? Im a firm believer in considering multiple viewpoints on a subject equally, however, when it comes to those who professionally study the mind and deal with a multitude of people with different life circumstances, there can be some ambiguity due to perception because of one's own exposure. Gender plays a part in the way things are perceived; for instance,  in "Great Danes Lifts Temple", David Hinckley has a specific perception of Temple Grandin despite her autistic diagnosis. While there is no notion in the article that is gender biased, it is still something to be considered. While watching "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", which tells the story of a family undergoing therapy due to alcoholism and a corrupted past life, there were some additional characters that suggest huge psychological discrepancies between the mother and father, despite them both dealing with the same issues.
